- Obtain pricing and coordinate purchasing with vendors
- Coordinate production schedules and outside fabrication
- Schedule deliveries and field installation
- Manage job flow to ensure deadlines are met or exceeded
- Communicate regularly with customers, architects, contractors, vendors, and installers
- Identify project risks and resolve problems before they affect schedule or profitability
- Track project costs, commitments, change orders, and billing
- Maintain accurate project documentation
- Coordinate punch lists and project closeout
- Provide owners with timely updates on project status, schedule, and financial performance
Requirements:
- 5 years of project coordination or project management
